Lightiania

Synopsis

As Gikot Krank, the inventor, you live in the forest just outside Melton in England. You have been working in the attic on your latest project, a solar powered micro robot with no special abilities at all, just that it is small and solar powered.

You are VERY surprised when, after a smaller blackout, you realise that a big spacecraft has crashed in the middle of the meadow. Its purple metallic shell reflects the sun into your wide open eyes. As an inventor you begin to imagine what you could do with alien technology, but soon you are disappointed when you see that they've run into your thinking-stub! You walk slowly down to the circular round craft. "No signs of any extra terrestrials," you think. "Have they survived the crash?"
